Beretta28g Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Ok, i have had 12 shells for about 5 years. They are very good with large white patches and they dont shine. They wernt expensive £13 as i recall. I recetly bought another 12 shells from a online store, along with a rotary and some other bits and peices. These new decoys dont have very ig white patches so what can i do to enlarge them, what paint is good? Also the tails of these decoys shine like anything and are really quite different to the origionals. How can i stop this shine? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 You could resolve both issues by getting some sillosock slip over jackets and fitting them over your shells (thats what I do and quite a few others). If you have a look at UKSW's website under Pigeon Decoys you will find them. They fit over the decoy from the tail up to the neck. So that the shell still stacks, I cut mine along the "belly" and fix it to the underside of the shell with two sided tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I use tippex for the white on my plastics and matt black spray dusted on wherever needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linny Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 take a look at the white paint in the Craft and DIY Section and see what tippex looks like under uv light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 A small pot of white UV paint, either on the Bay of E, or a model shop, shouldn't cost more than a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
